26、 A painting of a famous artist could cost several million dollars in the market. This is why many artworks — even those that are housed inside highly guarded museums — go missing. Here is a list of some of the most famous paintings that were lost, stolen or destroyed.
Vincent Van Gogh’s Poppy Flowers
This artwork was housed at the Mohammed Mahmoud Khalil Museum in Cairo. It was first lost in 1977, but was recovered 10 years after. The second time this same Vincent Van Gogh painting was stolen was in August of 2010. The painting is estimated(估价) to be worth something between $50 and $55 million.
Pablo Picasso’s Le Pigeon Aux Petits
Stolen on May 20,2010, this painting by Spanish painter Pablo Picasso is worth $28 million. It was stolen at the Museed’ Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, along with five other artworks.

Paul Cezanne’s View of Auvers Sur Oise

27、 I was drowned(淹没) in work. I was convinced that it was because my job was demanding, but as I changed my job and eventually became self-employed and I could call my own shots, I was still drowned in work and things were still out of control. Now I come to realize that I have a tendency to drown myself in work and the problem is not the job I’m in.
One of the reasons why work-life balance is hard is that we attribute (把……归咎于) the problem to our environment when we ourselves are the problem actually. I enjoy making my clients happy. “Dushka, your work is unbelievable.” “Dushka, we would not have survived without you.” This is my instinctive (本能的) desire. I, a good girl, should make someone I love proud. What can get in the way of work-life balance is that approval often matters more than the balance I claim I want.
I am ambitious and want to do great things and as soon as a project is done I’m hungry for the next one. I want hard work. I want to push myself and test myself. I want to learn. Sometimes work-life balance is hard because there is a difference between what I say I want and what I really want.
My life is constantly changing. If a friend visits me from out of town I want to work less, if I happen to be particularly inspired I want to work more, and if a family member needs me I don’t want to have to worry about work at all. Work-life balance is hard because my definition of it is a moving target. It means different things to me depending on different situations.
What is work-life balance, anyway? Does it mean I get to go home every day when the clock strikes 5:00 pm? Does it mean that I work hard for a few weeks and then take a long weekend off? Do I want daily balance, or do I want things to balance out over the course of a few weeks, even months?
On one side, work-life balance doesn’t mean that the only way to do something well is to do it yourself. Your ego (自我) gets in the way of your being free. On the other side, work-life balance can be hard if you are worried that someone else can do your job better than yourself. Then you live in a constant state of suspicion (怀疑) and never allow yourself to step away. Your fear is calling the shots, not your ambitions.
Work-life balance can be hard if you are more worried about looking good than doing good work. If you want to make sure everyone sees you are the first one to come and the last one to leave, what others think of you has more weight than your desire of getting home in time for dinner.
My boss assures me that employees come first and that people are the most important, yet I don’t see him telling me it’s time to go home because I worked really late the night before.
Wait a minute. Why should my work-life balance be the company’s problem, in particular when I’ve already identified that my needs are ever-changing? How can I expect someone else to stay on top of that? The only person responsible for that is me.
【1】What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.Demand less from myself. B.Pay more attention to work.
C.Complete more excellent jobs. D.Control a situation by myself.
【2】The author enjoys making her clients happy because ________.
A.she is afraid to lose her job B.she always desires to be approved

B.She is always satisfied with the current situation.
C.The achievement of work-life balance is easy for her.

【4】What does the example of the author’s boss tend to indicate?
A.Work-life balance relies on our own selves. B.It’s no use working hard for our boss.
C.Profits are more important than employees. D.Some leaders don’t mean what they say.
28、 Tom Savage has quit his job as a research analyst and found a perfect new start sting up his own social enterprise in Madagascar. He tells readers of the UK newspaper the Guardian that they can do likewise and follow their dream.
Every day dozens of Toms are reported in newspapers and magazines and on career websites and blogs. Their real-life tales aren't there to surprise or shock, as a result, many readers are taking on board.
Sophie Collins, 23, is a biology graduate from London. But before starting her course at university in Edinburgh, Scotland, she took a year out and enrolled in an Art Foundation course. “Art makes me happy, even if it won't pay my bills for a couple of years.” said Collins.
The idea that you should be free to follow your dream, whether as a young person or as a middle-aged adult with a well- established career, is on the upgrade.
In schools, students are taught that they can do whatever they want and can be whoever they choose so long as they work hard enough at that dream. People in the public eye, such as Italian classical singer Andrea Bocelli, have given up positions in admirable professions to take their chance on fame. Bocelli was a lawyer before he made it as a singer, selling 70 million albums worldwide.
The media and reality TV talent shows have also played their part in encouraging young people to follow their heart.
In 2006, 18-year-old Ray Quinn, barely out of school, finished second in the British TV talent show The X Factor. He later secured a record deal with Sony.
Each year since then, hundreds of thousands of people have applied to the show, hoping, and expecting, that the chance to realize their ambitions will soon come.
Even if they don't have a particular dream in mind, many young people are encouraged to take a year or two to find where their interests lie, instead of jumping into a job which they may later tire of.
George Evans, 24, is determined to find a job which interests him. “I think most of us recognize that it is happiness and not money that is the ultimate goal,” said the Cambridge University graduate. “Unless you are passionate about your career, you won't truly succeed.”
【1】Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A.Sophie Collins took an art course before entering university to pursue her interest.
B.Andrea Bocelli, who used to be a lawyer, enjoys great success as a classical singer.
C.Ray Quinn achieved his career success though he had performed poorly at school.
D.George Evans thinks happiness counts more than money when choosing a career.
【2】What does the underlined phrase mean?
A.sharing the same boat B.accepting the idea
C.rejecting the concept D.ignoring the fact
【3】What is the main idea of this passage?
A.Choose a career that truly appeals to you.
B.Make efforts to be interested in your job.
C.Make attempts to seek a meaningful career.
D.Build up confidence when seeking a job.
29、A travel journal is one of the best ways to keep a long voyage in memory. Many details that don’t seem important while you are writing your travel journal often turn out to be so memorable.
【1】. When you are on a busy journey, it is easy to forget to write. You may promise yourself that you will write later, but that almost never happens. Take a few minutes every day and put down your memories. 【2】.
Use your “down time” for your travel journal. There is a surprising amount of sitting around while traveling. You can always put down a few lines in your travel journal when you are on trains, waiting for planes, drying your laundry, or waiting in line.
At the beginning of your journal, write down the day, where you are, who you are with, maybe even the weather and what you eat. 【3】. Years later when you read your journal, you will know exactly what you were doing on that day.
Focus on writing about how you feel. Listing facts and figures is fine but that isn’t why you traveled. A long journey is a time for self-reflection. Memories of these feelings fade quickly with time. 【4】.
【5】. Whenever you use a ticket for a train or a museum or a ride, tape the stubs to your journal. They are pieces of history from your journey. Years later you can look at the ticket stubs and see exactly what you were doing on a specific day and how much it cost.
A．Keep ticket stubs.
B．Book your ticket in advance.
C．You’d better write down as much as possible.
D．These are the first details people tend to forget.
E．It doesn’t have to be long, just on a regular basis.
F．Get into the habit of writing your travel journal every day.
G．Writing about those experiences while the memories are fresh is important.
